And fyi, Diana always fluctuates from a mere meta to herald level, so none of her showings make any sense.

Let's stop pretending she constantly operates at Superman's level or close to it.

If only you couldn't say that about the vast majority of heralds too.

Makes you wonder how many murders Clark chooses to ignore everyday 😆

Not really.

You can't name too many heralds very vulnerable to bullets or street-level attacks.

Diana and Odinbastard come to mind, who else?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Diana operating as mere meta though.

Even Clark sometimes operates on a meta level for the first 90% of an arc, until he says **** this.

Then you missed the issue when a poor African bullet bounced off Superman's chest and hit her in the neck area, knocking her out and making her bleed to near death.

Half of the Justice League. Plenty of Avengers. Iceman and Jean are supposed to be heralds and have gotten smacked down by people that should be far below them.

I don't think you can really single Diana out when there are plenty of similar examples, even if hers can be pretty egregious.

Instantly pinpointing one heartbeat from BILLIONS. Jfc.

But he couldn't hear her fighting two monsters? Lame

Comics. One minute your punching a multiversal being after amp by 6 suns. Next, you can’t even tell if your teammates in a fight to the death.

So since Transformers Regeneration skirts that line where it happens in a separate company (IDW), yet is intended to follow off from Marvel, how much canon can we bring over?

For example, Megatron loses what's left of his sanity, wipes out most life on Earth, and the remains of an "elite special forces" bunker no longer in operation are shown that is clearly intended to be GI Joe.

Can we say the GI Joe from Transformers defeated Cobra and was decomishioned, and any former members likely killed in the fallout of Megatron, even if not explicitly stated?

Are we even able to say GI Joe existed in IDW's reboot at all, being unavailable as an IP for the reboot?

Or are these basically two separate continuity's, for the purpose of canon?, including Transformers history, despite a claimed continuation?

Like, lets say I wanted to prove a point about Regeneration Ultra Magnus that required a bit from Marvel UK?

Prime:

I imagine we'll get more info on that in issues to come.

Presumably The Council of Eternity found a way to imprison Prime because they feared his power.

Well there goes that magic immunity

I'd wait to see how things unfold a bit before we just throw Prime's immunity to magic out the window.

He's going to be the antagonist in a series that focuses exclusively on magical beings, and Johns(his biggest fanboy) will be writing him... It's very unlikely that he'll randomly start being explicitly vulnerable to magic, imo.

It's also worth noting that under Johns, the Council of Eternity > Spectre... So even IF their magics legitimately affected Prime, I certainly wouldn't call it a low showing or w/e. /shrug

This goes back to my question about immunities.

If the magicians magick up a red sun (which....could be possible I guess?) Then SBP would be depowered by it, no? Same way if they created a rock, and Shazam threw that rock at him, it would still physically hit him....

I'm more interested in the last two panels. Is SBP keeping his 4th wall breaking then?

Yea I was just stirring the pot. I'm actually interested in how they managed to trap him

If they used their magics to conjure red sunlight or kryptonite from Prime's universe, it would absolutely depower him. In those scenarios it wouldn't be the magic affecting him... it would be the red sun/k-nite.

The immunity thing comes into play primarily when magical attacks are directly used against him, like this:

OR if certain physical attacks are backed/amped by magic, like this:

And yeah, definitely looks like Prime can still break the 4th wall when he wants to. He was talking to 'us' there. 👆

Fair enough. 👆
